Guided Pointes

Jessica here. Not really sure what this will turn into, but for now I'm aiming to make this a dance advice blog. I'm just a dancer myself but I feel like I've been through a lot of things and could give helpful feedback to anyone searching for it. I'm a professional ballet dancer; it's my job, it's my life. Anybody is welcome to submit/ask anything dance related, anonymously or not. I may not always be able to help but chances are I have come across something similar or have known somebody who has as well. I'll also post pictures and videos of beautiful dancing that I don't want to spam my personal blog followers with. Happy Dancing!

Alina Somova - Sleeping Beauty Act I Aurora Variation

just in case you were wondering, this is exactly what a perfectly stylized Aurora looks like. so delicate and young and naive looking but still maintaining the nobility. literally, she is the most lovely thing
